Pontassieve, Tuscany

Reference: RLHP-T3214. Set in the tranquil countryside about 30 minutes from Florence, this enchanting estate offers an intimate retreat immersed in woods, olive groves and natural light. At its heart stands a carefully preserved 13th-century stone farmhouse, now divided into four independent units, providing nine bedrooms, five bathrooms and a guest bathroom. The interiors retain authentic Tuscan character, with exposed stone walls, wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors and original fireplaces. Warm, light-filled living areas include traditional country kitchens, convivial dining rooms and welcoming lounges, while bedrooms enjoy peaceful views over gardens, woodland and olive trees, creating seamless continuity between indoors and outdoors. The estate extends across approximately 21 hectares, including over 3 hectares of olive groves with around 1,000 trees. A swimming pool, discreetly integrated into the landscape, forms the centrepiece of outdoor living. Sustainable features include a private well, natural spring and 6 kW photovoltaic system. Historically linked to Folco Portinari-associated with Dante's muse-the property blends heritage, privacy and understated rural luxury. Ref: 15173
